Leicester venue to cease operating<\/h2>\n

Lock42<\/strong>, the music venue located on Frog Island, is to cease to operate. The owners of the building in which it is situated – Stayfree Music – have decided to close it down. Promoter Andy Wright told us: \u00a0“Lock42 will cease trading as a live music venue on a temporary basis until the area around us enters into a period of regeneration. We were led to believe by the local authorities 5 years ago that there was a 5 year plan of regeneration centred around this area but obviously this hasn’t happened and indeed the area seems to have deteriorated further in this time.” Andy added “Lock42 will reconsider this decision in time when appropriate. In the meantime the venue will be handed back to Stayfree Music who will be using it for more rehearsal space.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile the Council-sponsored website Visit Leicester<\/em> continued to list the venue: \u00a0‘Lock 42 is a versatile live music venue situated on Frog Island, home to a venue and stay free music studios. Lock 42 hosts regular gigs from Leicester’s music scene and up and coming bands, previously hosting rising indie bands The Fixers, The Crookes and an early gig by The Vaccines.
\nLock 42, 2-4 Frog Island, Leicester LE3 5AG.’<\/p>\n

We intend to ask City Mayor Peter Soulsby<\/strong> why there has been little progress with the regeneration of the Frog Island area.<\/p>\n

Kasabian gig is a sell out<\/h2>\n

The Kasabian<\/strong> home-coming gig has sold out, reports The De Montfort Hall. \u00a0The event, to be held on Victoria Park, takes place on 21st June. In a background piece about the band, band member Serge Pizzorno said: “We are hugely honoured to be playing in our home town at such an incredible setting right in the heart of the city. It’s a happening we’ve been planning for years. Summer solstice is coming; set the controls for the heart of the sun.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Live Nation, the company that is organising the show (they also mounted this weekend’s Download festival), organiser Andy Copping \u00a0 said\u00a0“Having worked with Kasabian from the very early days, it has been my dream to stage a really big “homecoming” show for them. The band is very proud of Leicester and this means more to them then any other show they have ever played. Having liaised with the local authority over the last few years to see if it was possible, I am overjoyed that we are finally able to make it happen. I really hope that the people of Leicester will get behind this event and celebrate the success of one of their own.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Charlotte re-opens as a pub<\/h2>\n

Leicester’s legendary music venue, The Charlotte, opened it doors again tonight, this time as a pub. After a substantial refurbishment few people would recognise the inside now but old-timers might see some features still intact from the venue as it was. The main room has had a complete makeover but the red quarry tiles are still in place. \u00a0Outside there is a patio area and the back wall of this still displays the word CHARLOTTE which some people will remember from the back of the stage.<\/p>\n

The Charlotte, as a main live music venue, developed from the pub known as The Princess Charlotte, when it was taken over by promoter Andy Wright. \u00a0It eventually closed in January 2009 having opened in 1989. \u00a0It re-opened for a time in 2010 before finally closing while the building was converted into student flats. In its last full year the stages was visited by bands such as The Courteeners, Elliott Minor, Sonic Boom Six, The Rifles, Little Man Tate, \u00a0Twisted Wheele, The Mystery Jets,\u00a0Danananananakroyd,\u00a0Does It Offend You Yeah, Example and pretty much all of the local bands who were big at the time.<\/p>\n

The pub is now open seven days a week from 12 to 12, and plans to put on some live music events during the student holidays. The Charlotte is at 8 Oxford Street, opposite De Montfort University.<\/p>\n

National star booked for 2014 Festival<\/h2>\n

Professor Green is to headline \u00a0the Leicester Music Festival in 2014, reports the Leicester Mercury<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The new festival is planned to take place in July at the Welford Road Rugby ground. \u00a0The festival is being organised by local businesses and is reported to be booking big UK acts. Two other acts have been announced – Billy Ocean and Soul II Soul – according to the newspaper’s article. \u00a0Earlier this year the company behind the festival – Kong events – put on Alexander O’Neal at the O2 Academy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Leicester Music Festival is to take place on 25th to 26th July at the Welford Road rugby stadium. \u00a0Crowds of up to 22,000 are expected to attend for each day.<\/p>\n

Organisers Shane Whitfield and Manoj Keshavji announced they have\u00a0promised to bring a wide array of music from Soul, R\u2019n\u2019b, Hip Hop and Pop. They are hoping that the festival will help Leicester to attract larger events and bring commerce to the city. Manoj said \u00a0\u201cBe proud of your City, Be proud of Leicester.\u201d<\/p>\n

Leicester Music Festival is being held at Welford Road Stadium, which is home to the Leicester Tigers, The best-supported and most successful club in English rugby, Leicester Tigers occupy an enviable position in the game both at home and abroad. From domination of the Midlands Cup in their formative years to national knockout cup conquests and on to a place at the top of the professional game, nine English league titles and back-to-back European crowns, Leicester have set the benchmark for others to follow.<\/span><\/p>\n

Festival planned<\/h2>\n

A news item on the BBC website today indicated interest in organising a major new music festival in Leicester.<\/p>\n

The news item suggests that Victoria Park would see a major new Festival to replace Summer Sundae.<\/p>\n

Summer Sundae cut<\/h2>\n

Leicester SummerSundae Weekender festival has been axed, organisers of the event announced today.<\/p>\n

Summer Sundae Weekender posted on its Facebook page that the annual event would not be returning in 2014.<\/p>\n

Their posting comments: \u00a0‘\u00a0Sadly we have found that running a city-centre event of this size with such an array of entertainment and professional\u00a0production standards is just not possible in the current economic climate.’<\/p>\n

Some critics of the festival have commented that expenditure on production last year was extravagant and lavish.<\/p>\n

Many music fans will miss the festival and be sad to see it go. \u00a0Over the 12 years that it has been running, the festival has attracted attenders from all over Europe. \u00a0Its stages have provided slots for big international level bands and, very importantly, to rising local bands, like The Heroes, Vows, Little Night Terrors, Park Bench Society, Mahalia and Jake Bugg.<\/p>\n

A previous announcement explained that the festival would not take place in 2013.<\/p>\n
